“Please know everyone is safe,” a statement on the website reads. “Thank you for your outpouring of support for the League during this tough time in Boston.”

“We are all stunned and saddened by the horrible events of yesterday,” League President Mary Nee said in a statement. “As a community of humane, caring individuals we grieve for the senseless loss of life and personal injuries.”

The site claimed the animals are being cared for, and that their shelter and Veterinary Care facility were not shut down and will be open during normal business hours.

A final comment reads: “It’s important to remember that in difficult times like this, the unconditional love and warmth from the animals in our lives can help comfort our deepest fears, and make the darkest day seem a little bit brighter.”
